Just days away from February inflation data which would exceed 6%Driven mainly by the food product and in particular by the sharp increase in meat prices, the government continues to implement its plan to moderate the effect on Argentine pockets. At the discount and promotions in existing butchers, fishmongers and farms, there is now the one offered by Banco Provincia.
From the DNI account, the entity is offering a 35% refund in March, capped at $3,000 per transaction for purchases at more than 3,800 butchers, farms, coolers and fishmongers. In this sense, the benefit is applied to around 135 municipalities, and will take place on Saturdays and Sundays in March.
